      People's Daily Online, Beijing, November 8th (Reporters Hao Ping, Li Yihuan) In recent years, my country's emergency management system has become increasingly perfect and capabilities have been continuously improved. The emergency management system and capability modernization process is accelerating. The reporter learned from the press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council today that the national emergency management department and the national comprehensive firefighting and rescue team have been reforming, responding and building, effectively responding to a series of major disasters and accidents and maintaining the overall safety situation. Stability has maintained the safety of people’s lives and property and social stability. Mainly reflected in the following five aspects:

      The first is to vigorously promote institutional reforms and basically form an emergency management system with Chinese characteristics. The newly formed Emergency Management Department integrates 13 functions of 11 departments, including 5 national deliberative and coordinating agencies, and involves the transformation of nearly 200,000 armed police officers and soldiers in 2 units. During the period, the National Mine Safety Supervision Bureau was also established to strengthen the construction of hazardous chemicals regulatory agencies and strengths, deepen the comprehensive administrative law enforcement reform and fire protection law enforcement reform of emergency management, improve the system and mechanism of flood control and drought relief, forest and grassland fire prevention, and explore and build a new set of Emergency management work system.

      The second is to give full play to the advantages of comprehensive overall planning and continuously improve the country's comprehensive emergency response capabilities. On the one hand, we will give full play to the overall coordination role and comprehensive advantages, and take the lead in establishing and improving the entire process of cross-departmental linkage mechanisms such as risk research and judgment, information sharing, co-processing, recovery and reconstruction, etc., and the joint force of the integration of prevention, resistance, and rescue has been significantly enhanced. On the other hand, it actively promotes the implementation of key natural disaster prevention and control projects, establishes an emergency command information network and other systems at the four levels of ministries, provinces, cities, and counties, and realizes comprehensive online monitoring of major hazard sources of hazardous chemicals and coal mines, and disaster accident risk monitoring The early warning capabilities have been continuously improved, the top-down emergency command system has been basically established, and the comprehensive rescue capabilities for all disasters and major emergencies have been significantly improved.

      The third is to maintain an emergency state at all times and respond to major disasters in an orderly and effective manner. The entire emergency management system is on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and more than 500,000 cadres and staff and fire rescue officers and fighters maintain an emergency state at all times, and strengthen emergency preparedness in terms of disaster report, power pre-position, material storage, and equipment optimization. Respond to all kinds of sudden disasters and accidents at any time. Since the establishment of the Emergency Management Department, a total of 830 emergency consultations have been organized, 246 emergency responses have been initiated, and 603 working groups have been sent to the front line to effectively deal with a series of major disasters.


      The fourth is to solve the problems with both the symptoms and the root causes, and continue to consolidate the foundation for the development of emergency management. Organize the implementation of the three-year action plan for special rectification of national production safety, carry out special rectifications in nine key industries, and improve the level of intrinsic safety. Promote the establishment of the rule of law in emergency management, revise the safety production law, fire protection law, etc., promote the addition of crimes such as dangerous work crimes in the criminal law amendments, and adhere to strict, standardized, fair and civilized law enforcement. Implementation of the enterprise safety quality improvement project and launch of safety skills training for employees in high-risk industries. In 2020, 7.868 million people were trained. Carry out the construction of a national comprehensive disaster reduction demonstration community, build a team of nearly 1 million disaster information personnel, and build a strong line of people's defense for disaster prevention, reduction and relief.

      Fifth, it is to benchmark all kinds of disasters in large-scale emergency response, and comprehensively build and strengthen the emergency rescue force with Chinese characteristics. The national comprehensive fire rescue team adheres to the positioning of the main force of emergency rescue and the national team, and newly formed more than 3,000 professional teams in waters, mountains, earthquakes, air services, flood control, and chemical engineering. Establish a professional emergency rescue force, and build nearly 100 national emergency rescue teams for earthquakes, mines, hazardous chemicals, tunnel construction, engineering rescue, and aviation rescue with more than 20,000 people. At present, my country has initially established an emergency rescue force system with Chinese characteristics, with a national comprehensive fire rescue team as the main force, professional rescue teams as coordination, military emergency forces as surprise attacks, and social forces as assistance.

      "With the joint efforts of all parties, the national safety production situation continues to improve steadily." Zhou Xuewen, deputy minister of the Emergency Management Department, said that from a new historical starting point, the Emergency Management Department will insist on the people first, life first, and insist on overall development and safety. , Continue to promote reform and development, make every effort to prevent and control major risks, continue to consolidate the foundation at the grassroots level, deepen the modernization of the emergency management system and capabilities, and create a good and safe environment for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country.
